Lurtz, a formidable and fearsome character bred in the pits of Orthanc by the wizard Saruman, played a significant role in the Lord of the Rings saga as one of the first of a new breed of Orcs to attack the fellowship. Standing tall, upright, strong, and unwaveringly fearless, Lurtz's sole purpose was to hunt down and capture the hobbits on behalf of his master, Saruman. This finely detailed 1:6 scale statue captures the essence of Lurtz, hand-cast in heavy polystone and meticulously painted to the highest standards. The display base, etched with the map of Middle-earth and adorned with the Lord of the Rings logo, the character's name, and the sculptor's signature, adds to its authenticity. These statues are faithful recreations of the film's central characters, endorsed by the actors who portrayed them, making them a prized collectible for fans. Crafted by the talented sculptor Michael Asquith, this Lurtz collectible brings a menacing piece of Middle-earth to life.
